Hmm this might not be in the right section...I was contemplating if I should post this in the Food section, but its mostly about health so..

Anyway...so what are some healthy alternatives for the bigger meals like lunch and dinner. I don't really mean snacks though, but you can post them up as well.

since its the summer, i eat a lot of mul nengmyun & instead of using the myun, i add a lot of cucumbers & eat it...it tastes good too (nice & crunchy texture)

[loveof]

carrots!
i love carrots.
you could dip them in a little bit of balsamic vinegar mixed with evoo and water.
super good and healthy.
not really sure if balsamic vinegar is good for you..
but i know evoo is. omega-3 fatty acids! good for the heart!!
this dressing is better than the thick original ones.
since you only have to dip it once and you get a really thin layer but the taste is great!
with the white/mayo ones a lot of people scoop it and eat way too much dressing.

for lunch i usually eat a sandwich and some fruit.. i also drink lots of water.
dinner i like eating my mom's asian food. LOL.
can't resist.
but just don't pig out on asian food! if you do you'll start getting fat.
most asian stuff are fried or covered with A LOT of sauce or salty..
and asian people don't measure either.. well most don't.

i've been eating salsa and corn chips for lunch with like an apple as a snack..
that's pretty healthy..

I eat cereal with lots of fiber. It fills me up really quickly, even though I have a handful of cereal. And I eat yogurt and an apple for dinner. That's pretty filling too. Sometimes some tofu? I try to be as healthy as I can

Grilled veggies, steamed veggies, stir-fry veggies (use a non stick skillet)
with
grilled/baked/steamed chicken breast(no skin,) lean pork tenderloin, fish, lean cuts of meat
with
brown rice

For flavouring, use herbs, soy sauce, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and stuff like that

breakfast I usually do a egg white omlette with veggies and lean cuts of meat

[Thao]

Cucumbers are good, or any vegetables.

you can make a soy smoothie and use soy milk as an alternative for milk. or u can use fat free milk. i like putting peaches, straberries and bananas in my smoothies.

my mom recently bought a juice maker and started making apple with carrot juice. It tastes ok..and she drinks just this juice she makes everymorning for breakfast. she lost about 2 pounds in the first week.

fruits! little to no preparation and they taste good~ =D

[lyzerg]

eat eat your breakfast!
and fill up for lunch as well.

eat light for dinner - avoid carbs at night cos that's when you gain the most weight. soups and salads and vegetables work well. try to avoid meat during dinner - eat them during breakfast or lunch cos they help to nourish the brain esp when you're in school and all.

it's bst to eat small snacks in between cos that helps you to avoid bingeing/eating too much during your proper meal.
try fruits like cherries , plums berries and all for snacks since they're much more easy to eat.

avoid refined carbs, try brown rice and beans/legumes/oats for carbs. they make you less hungrier and doesn't give a sudden sugar spike.

drink lots and lots of water, sometimes we mistake thirst for hunger and end up over eating ^^

is evoo extra virgin olive oil?? hmm...cuz my friends tries this sauce with her salad and she said it's made out of balsamic vinegar and it's pretty tasty...and i want to know how to make it....and yeah carrots are delicious with it...so is lettuce...

but just don't pig out on asian food! if you do you'll start getting fat.most asian stuff are fried or covered with A LOT of sauce or salty..and asian people don't measure either.. well most don't.

that's actually not true...for korean dishes...you usually use veggies and red pepper sauce (gochujjang) as sauce...people rarely eat red meat cuz it's more expansive in korea...andplus most towns have places near by...so people walk (excersising)

[KissMe-ImContagious]

haha thanks for the advice...
I'm gonna take water around with me everywhere now
I have been recently, and I think it helps with skin as well.

[BloodPrincessShiroto]

For breakfast I eat a bagle with creamcheese and a pear, then for lunch i'll eat either a salad or a sandwich with some baby carrots. Dinner I eat something smaller like sushi, steak, eggs.

[Love Virus]

i switches from full krean food breakfast to peanut butter jelly
I don't eat lunch; I never did actaully. But now I eat series of snacks including yogurt, vegetables, or fruits
dinner I skip that sometimes but when I don't, it's usually in small portions of Korean foods

[srenity]

has someone already mentioned water as an alternative to soda as a beverage with your meals?
because it makes a huge difference =D

[twinnyroo]

if you get a jamba juice smoothie and put the burner boost in it for like .50 more then your not hungry. sometimes i just buy a jamba juice for lunch or something

[dolce.vita]

Mm..for lunch I like these

- Hummus + pita bread
- a salad
- turkey + guacamole in a tortilla wrap
